Apologies. 1880-1900 ish.

Hoping someone who knows the area may be able to help me, if my ancestors died when living in Llangoedmor, where might they be buried. They were married in Cilfowyr Baptist Chapel but I think that might be too far away? Is there a Baptist chapel closer or should I be looking somewhere else? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks

I have just come back to this thread, in preparation for a visit to the area next week, planning which places to try and find/visit. I have just looked for Gors on Google maps and it appears to be near Aberystwyth. Is there another one, closer to Cardigan?

so the David son of David & Sarah looks more likely as their residence is Gors family still there in 1861 RG9/4175 folio 55 pg 8.

I've got Baptist forebears in this area as well. You should find marriages in the established church, the Baptist churches often had their own burial grounds, but you'll not find infant baptisms, only possibly naming rolls or births to members.

I am planning to visit Mountain Ash and surrounding area in a few weeks time.  My great grandparents lived there in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  I know it is probably very optimistic to think I might be able to find where they are buried but I would like to try.  I have found a newspaper report of my gr grandfather's funeral which suggests he was buried in Caegarw Cemetery in 1917.  His wife died in 1915 so I guess she is probably there too.  Does anyone know anything about the cemetery please - is it enormous?  Is there any way of finding out where they were buried?  Any hints of good places to go to learn about history of this area?  (I did find a phone number on the council website for cemeteries but have a phone phobia and would rather email if at all possible!)  Thanks
